With an apartment bulging with books and journals she visits a used bookstore owner who gives her an unusual messenger bag he claims will give her clarity about her problem. But first, the bag appears to actually pull her into novels she's never read-much to Coral's enjoyment Jumping from one genre to the next, she sees, hears, and even smells the action, interacting with characters and literally getting lost in the world of books.
